Chapter1 Outline of project
1.1 Background of project
After over twenty years of civil war, the new government of the Islamic Republic of
Afghanistan (hereinafter Afghanistan) has been striving to rebuild the nation.
Assistance in this rebuilding is being implemented from a medium- to long-term perspective.
However, designing of reconstruction projects has been hampered by lack of accurate, up-to-
date topographic maps, even of urban areas. Such maps form the basis of economic and social
reconstruction programs.
Of the urban areas, in the city of Kabul, in particular, the population is increasing rapidly and
the urban area is expanding. Consequently, Kabul and the expanding urban areas are facing
various urban problems including a shortage of housing and water supply, deteriorating
hygienic conditions, traffic congestion and air pollution. Therefore, the formulation and
implementation of measures to combat and solve these problems was urgently required.
To this end, the Government of Afghanistan (GOA) submitted a request to the Government of
Japan (GOJ) for implementation of a study on preparation of topographic maps in Kabul.
In response to the above request, the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA)
dispatched a preliminary study team and exchanged the Scope of Work (S/W) on 13th
September 2007. JICA then implemented The Study on the topographic mapping for Greater
Kabul in the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan (hereinafter the project) in accordance with the
S/W.
1.2 Objectives of project
The objectives of the project are:
Digital topographic mapping of Kabul city on a scale of 1:5,000 and orthophoto mapping
of Kabul and its surrounds on a scale of 1:10,000; and
Technical transfer of digital topographic mapping techniques to the Afghanistan Geodesy
and Cartography Head Office (hereinafter AGCHO) through the implementation of this
project.
